Even BTCGuild's shop has the new blades before old customers. GG.
As stated before, the direct sales of old blades' price difference is not part of the compensation. And for new blades we only ship to resellers in most of the areas. The new blades (as well as later products) turned out to be incompatible to the upgrading we mentioned, so what we could and would do is just distributing new products at very low or zero price to auction/earliest purchasers with the number based on the purchased amount and the whole network hashrate increase. |

We are glad to introduce our new model of Block Erupter Blades to the market. The hashing unit, the power module, and the ethernet controller are now integrated into one board, resulting in a more compact design with higher computation density. Besides the original power connector, the plug-able gold fingers are added to the blade. The blades are also complemented with a back-plane for them to fit in (10 in 1). It makes deployment easier and quicker. While the back-plane is compatible with any normal PSUs with its cable-based connector, it also offers a slot for a certain brand of widely available PSUs ( Part Number: HP DPS 800GBA or ATSN 7001044-Y000). Spec: 10GHhash/s guaranteed. Rated speed 10.752GHash/s. 200mm x 160mm in size. Resellers:US: eleuthria, CanaryInTheMine, SilentSonicBoom Canada: teek EU, Switzerland and North Europe: yxt China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau: rockxie Australia: leotreasure@gmail.comIndia: Pinwheel Purchasers from the rest of the world can buy the products directly from us. One back-plane will be provided per ten Block Erupter Blade (New Model). Former warranty conditions still hold. Mailing address for sales: asicminer.blades@gmail.com. Mailing address for support: asicminer.help@gmail.com. To purchase, please send your full name/address/zip code/phone number to the mailing address for sales.   Notes:1. Please make sure that the polarity of PSUs matches the polarity on the backplane. If you are connecting the blades to the PSU without backplane, please also make sure that the polarity matches each other. |

First, sorry for the delay of delivery. Our design decision changed a lot during the last few months, resulting a unified new blade design which had also gone into many iterations.
The purchasers will all be fulfilled with new blades. And furthermore it won't be merely upgrades. They are extra.
I'm assuming by this you mean its not a trade in - it never was. The problem with just getting new blades now is they're worth (to us, and costs you) almost nothing. The promise assumed they would be worth 15-25 on delivery, NOT 2-4btc. That's 11-23 difference, small money for you, big money for us. Of course we will bear the deprecation based on hashrate increase caused by our delay in mind. The later it is, the more hashrate it will be. |

+1 to dogie. This is a sad day for the people who supported ASICMINER initially. I was part of the B3 auction who paid 50BTC / blade. They never ROI'ed. Even with the new price of 3.5Btc per blade for returning customers, these blades don't seem to ROI. http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/a/d0775c4b7b@Friedcat : When you replied to my PM earlier this week, i was expecting something better. You have let us down this time.
So much for taking our chances and vetting on ASICMINERSorry for the confusion brought. The lowered price for returning customers is just an option as a favor. Of course we won't treat initial purchasers like this. The compensation/reward we talked about before would be different and more attractive. |

As you know, we resumed the supply of Block Erupter USBs in this month. As you might not know if you haven't bought the new ones, we managed to make them: Thinner - Up to 1mm of cut in thickness on the inductor. More refined - The frontcases/heatsinks are now built with better surface processing. Having more choice of color - Seven in total (black and 6 colors shown below), of which two are accompanied with concentric circle effects on the surface. As widely available as before - No pre-orders. No date projections. They are for sale, here and now. The world's smallest Bitcoin miner, powered by the world's first Bitcoin mining ASIC. Besides securing the blockchain and gaining ROI, they are also ideal as souvenirs for both newcomers and experienced bitcoiners. |

Update
We have collected several shareholders' questions for answering.
Could we have an official live hashrate meter from ASICMINER?
We have an internal one, mainly for troubleshooting when some of the racks going down. The hashrate meter based on the blocks mined reflects more of the real speed (plus luck of course). We will buy more bandwidth before making it accessible by the whole internet. It also requires more commitment in maintenance.
For more transparency, is it possible to share a wallet address for depositing income from ASICMINER hardware sales?
We use a different deposit address for each payment transaction. But a centralized nexus address is good. Then people could see how the funds are separated as dividends and expenses.
Besides mining, hardware sales, and franchising, are there any other potential sources of revenue?
There are many possible ones considered, but none can support serious sound business model based on a 1-2billion dollar total market value of Bitcoin: selling patents, offering solution for mining farm construction, assembly service, etc.
Why has the hashrate dropped the past weeks?
It dropped in different few days. Some of them are internal hardware/network glitches, some of them are luck based. We haven't identified any form of DDOS attacks recently though.
There hasn't been a huge hardware dividend payoff: is it because of reduced margins, or delays?
Because we are collecting funds to get ready for the exponentially increased devices to be assembled in September and October.
How are things going regarding your business plan? Did you account for the sudden network hashrate increase? How is the international expansion of ASICminer coming along?
The business plan is unchanged. The network hashrate increase was still under our projection. The total hash target originally set for the end of this year would probably achieved earlier.
The ASICMiner expansion via franchising is still much within China border. The internationally deployed portion will dominate when the gain of operation cost outweigh the delay and cost of international shipping/assembling abroad.

We will rent the excessive hashing power to financial and technical capable people, accepting full deposits at the market price, shipping the devices and collecting a certain PPS rate based on the theoretical hashrate. The PPS rate, the dividing of cost coverage, as well as warranty/exit strategy are being discussed in detail and executed as small-scale experiments. This model is similar to hardware sales in the aspect that we do not have in control on how the users make use of our devices, therefore has more decentralization in spirit. And like with self-mining, it aims at settings in scale, enjoying the reduction of NRE cost and operating cost overall, and reducing potential marketing/advertisement/customer service costs. Project TimelineAugust-September: Deploy/sell all hashpower arriving in July and early August. September-November: Deploy/sell the hashpower ordered at early July. November-December: Experimental products of 2nd-gen chips and modular large-scale deployment solutions.
